There is a big difference between a traditional agent, buyer agent and exclusive buyer agent. Knowing the difference can save you money. When you work with Homebuyer Associates, you are working with an Exclusive Buyer Agent. We don't face conflicts of interest other agents do because we know who we represent 100% of the time - you. Here's why it costs little or nothing for our services.

1. Purchase price. The basis upon which a commission is paid. Traditional agents make more money if you spend more money.
   
   
2. The commission paid by the seller (a percentage of the sale price). Agents split this fee 60% - 40%.
   
   
3. The Listing agent, the agent with the lawn sign, works for the seller and keeps 60%.
   
   
4. The Selling agent, works for the seller and keeps 40%. Many consumers believe this agent works for them. Not true, this agent also represents the seller.

Homebuyer Associates eliminates the selling agent ("D") and keeps that money as our contract. For example,

     Homebuyer Associates' contract fee: $4,700
     Amount credited to Homebuyer Associates (Col. D) $4,800
     The difference between our contract and column D is $100, returned to client

Now you have someone working for you, Homebuyer Associates, your exclusive buyer agents.
